    I'm with you on that one. I think the vote is at least split. :rolleyes: :shifty:

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    The foam used for the eyelids appears to be very fragile - likely too fragile for the nose. I see why they had to go another rout. The "sock" is actually more like "netting" that attempts to give a foam-like texture or pattern. It doesn't quite succeed, but I have fallen in love with this Gonzo...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    I see it as both sweet and pragmatic and soupy. Soup is good food! However, last year we had just started dating a month before Valentines so I designed this for him. I've posted it before. He likes Donald Duck. The cellphone snap shot is rather crummy quality, but it's an original hand...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    :insatiable: I just don't see why Valentine's is perceived as a dark day. I've been attached and single on this day and rarely celebrate it either way. Never been much of a follower. I do sweet spontaneous things for my partner rather than designated days. This year I got him some candy hearts...

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    I hope to be blown away by these sculpts. I guess we'll know next week. :coy:

    Who do you think should voice an animated adult version of Skeeter?

    Julie Kavner! Just kidding. Can you imagine Skeeter with a Marge Simpson voice? Hmmmmmm. ;)

    Muppet Central Reviews :search: There is a self-explanatory page on the topic on the Muppet Central website that explains the easy process better than I could. There's also a place for notes where you could provide links to your photographs. http://www.muppetcentral.com/articles/form.shtml...

    Your Gonzo Replica Pictures

    That eyelid is supposed to be higher, as stated before, but that does appear to be a bit higher than normal. I might tweak it. :concern:

    Your Gonzo Replica Pictures

    Actually, that's the authentic Gonzo design. His left (our right) eyelid is a fraction higher than his right one. You will see this in both the posers and especially the actual production puppet. I am glad Master Replicas and Disney retained this particular point of accuracy. :flirt: A...

    I'm a little frightened to mess with the delicate foam too much. :concern:

    The Smurf's Triumphant return!

    Think I reported something about this earlier. Probably in the Alvin thread. I don't remember. The information (rumors and otherwise) that I have heard lead me to believe that this project is a feature film with CG Smurfs possibly in a realistic medieval world and the story has to do with...

    What Labyrinth and Dark Crystal merchandise do you want?

    The Power of the Dark Crystal - Time Has Come

    Many films you listed were not big box office money makers. It doesn't mean they weren't good, on the contrary many of them were, but they were still unfortunately considered niche films. Even the larger budgeted ones. Films like Labyrinth are often looked back at with rose-colored glasses when...

    How much buying power is present here

    You are right about the straight-on pictures. You will note I keep taking side shots until the pupil material arrives for my revision. I am convinced the sort of detailed eye focus needed for Gonzo cannot be manufactured – it must be individually placed by the skilled hand of an artist or puppet...

    How much buying power is present here

    The nose really isn't bugging me as much as I thought it would. Most of the time it can be overlooked, but sometimes the light catches it in an unflattering way. Here's a picture I posted in the other thread. A MEETING OF THE GONZOS. I doubt another Gonzo will be released for many...

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    My official step-by-step process for linking to Muppets.com XD Thought I'd officially list the tweaky thing needed to get to the Muppets.com start-up XD page. Does this hold true for everyone? My quickest method: 1. I log on to www.muppets.com (it annoyingly takes me to disney.com's main...

    How much buying power is present here

    Muppet Central (site and forum) gets a lot of visitors, but it's still only a fraction of fans and only a fraction of that actually post on the board. It is an interesting idea, just not likely workable. :sympathy: I have come to discover that the number listed on replicas means very little...

    My Thoughts: Disney's Muppets

    It's a good beginning with a lot of potential for growth. I do miss Rowlf and Scooter, but it does appear that they're trying to include some classics like Beaker and Swedish Chef! :hungry:

    The Chipmunks' Triumphant Return

    My partner is buying the new Chipmunks on Blu-Ray. I'm hoping for some fun exclusive special features. :) I'll also get to freeze-frame the animation to see how well it was done.
